THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
L Coast Lino
Merger Takes Shape
Jacksonville, Fla. -- Th#
Seaboard Coast Line railroad
Will come into being with ii
the next three weeks, but it
won’t take on its true image
until about 1972.
Only a few changes will be
immediate as the merger of
Atlantic Coast Line and Sea
board Air Line railroads
takes effect. Others will oc
cur gradually over the next
four or five years. .
“A few plans are definite,”
said John Weldon, ACL gen
eral solicitor. Corporate head
quarters will be at Richmond
and operating headquarters
at Jacksonville.
Division offices will be at
Tampa, Ocala, and M ami in
Flor.da; Atlanta, Savannah
and Waycross in Gcorga;
Ra’eigh and Rocky Mount in
North Carolina, a in d Flor
ence^ S. C.
Comm ttecs rcpref cnting At
lantic Coast Line and Sea
board are rrceting long hours
to map further steps.
“At present, the greatest
drain on both Coast L no and
Seaboard is wasteful ^duplica
tion of efforts and Rnulities,”
ACL said in an information
booklet to its employees.
The company hopes even
tually to save between $20
million and $28 million a year
by efficient consolidation.

None of the 23,000 employ
ees of the two railroads will
be fired because of, the mergi
or. All reductions will Ije
at rition—resignation, retire
ment and deaths. ~
Each employee will get at
least 90 days notice beford be-
ng given a different job or
moved to another city. ,
Atlrit on is expected re
du^c the work force about 5
per cent each of the next, five
years.
“The protection of the em
ployees is getting is unique’,”
Weldon said. “No other In
dus ry in the country has ap
proached it.”
IlQ.said a few notices have
been filed of individual
changes planned, but he
couldn’t say how many peo
ple are involved.
No changes in tracks, sta
tions or other facilities can be
initiated before July 1, be
cause of legal reasons, Wel
don said. Most need permis
sion of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Some re
quire approval of state public
service commissions.
Places where there pres
ently are duplicating facili
ties include:
South Carolina—Columbia,
Charleston and Florence.
North Carolina — Wilming
ton.
There is no estimate yet
how many miles of track will
be eliminated. Here is the cur
rent mileage of the respective
lines, by states: ’ ‘
